IEDM
The IEEE IEDM ( International Electron Devices Meeting ) has been an annual specialist conference in the USA since 1955 . It is considered the most important and largest conference on the topic of electronic components. The IEDM provides a global forum for the news of breakthroughs in technology, design, manufacturing, semiconductor physics and chemistry, and modeling of semiconductors and other electronic devices. The venue alternates between San Francisco , California (even years) and Washington, DC (odd years). In 2009 it took place in Baltimore for the first time . It is the flagship of the Electron Devices Society , a subsidiary of the IEEE.
Presented innovations:
- 2007: Intel showed its CMOS process in high-k + metal gate technology for the first time .
- 2008: The German Leibniz Institute for Innovative Microelectronics (IHP) in Frankfurt (Oder) ( Brandenburg ) presented its high frequency - transistor with the then world's fastest switching time of 2.5 pico seconds .
